This is my opinion but I prefer z status moves since generally you can get more or less the same power as simply doing a stat boost on the regular move rather than something I can only do once.

Z moves provide very interesting sets since it’s introduction but in reality I find them as glorified ohko moves that are best only against tanks and walls. That’s why I still hold my opinion that mega evolutions and z status moves over z nukes

I know not everything done in the battle needs a lasting effect. This means you need to take a threat quickly and can’t afford waiting. If there is no threat or it has been taken out already then it’s better in the long run for lasting effects over temporary effects.
